Mallory Agerton paints realist, often pastoral, landscapes that inspire the mind and renew the spirit. After graduating from the Landscape Atelier Program with master artist Deborah Paris, she received a BFA from the University of Texas and later studied at the Art Students League in New York City. Last year, her work was included in the Oil Painters of America Western Regional show, the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Best of America show and at the Hawthorne Gallery in New York City. As the old masters did, Agerton uses only observation —her own drawings, imagina- tion and memory—to create her paintings. Relying on field studies and never a mere photograph, she’s able to better distill the essence of a scene and evoke a sense of place. She enjoys using both direct and in- direct methods of painting with opaque and transparent paint. Her works can be found locally
at Ella Walton Richardson Fine Art at 58 Broad St.
